well done guys.

Milney's an interesting one- one of his lower goals scoring years but value seen elsewhere...

Will be interesting to see if Milne gets the nod ahead of Davis.

Perhaps GT will ring him and congratulate him?

St Loxton · Post: # 808692Post **St Loxton** » Tue 01 Sep 2009 7:20pm

Yeah great effort boys, thought Milne was deserving, only had a handfull of quiet games and won a few for us also.
Jason Blake must have been close, is so underated by many, 2nd highest marks for us this year, just works all day and is making better decisions overaal. Just thought he deserved a mention.
Could have been more of us in there.
Soooooo looking forward to Sunday.

Interesting no Fisher or Gardiner in a squad of 40

Well done boys

Munga · Post: # 808727Post **Munga** » Tue 01 Sep 2009 7:49pm

LOL Swan as a forward. It's BS if he makes it from there, 17 goals from a forward is rubbish, let alone for an All Australian.

There's no way Milne gets a spot. Le Cras miles ahead of him, Porplyzia and Davis just ahead. They're unlikely to pick more than three small forwards. I reckon the front six will be:

Davis - Riewoldt - Swan
Brown - Fevola - Le Cras

If they want genuine fwds, then LaCras and Milne. Davis and Swan have played mainly midfield this year.

how gardiner can't get a gig, his form in the first 16 weeks was the most influencial. Not suggesting he would make the final 22 but shuld have made the squad

I honestly believe Gilbert is a lock, am I alone on that?

I think he's been amazing this year.

Milne is however his overall output goals aside has been increased and its a credit that he has re-invented himself somewhat

Dane Swan is in the forwardline to accomodate another quality midfielder that might have missed out. Go figure it seems pointless and ruins credibility. Much like Spider playing in the forward pocket one year - quality pocketeer he was

Should be 6 locks and hopefully no Nick Maxwell. Reincarnated is miffed at how a player that gets the 5th best attacker who is usually a first year player, attempts to rough him up, runs around loose, spoils a bit, can't kick, can't mark, not fast and doesn't bounce get a nomination

However he like Campbell Brown might be the token 'tough man' back pocket awardee.

Tough men don't need to be told they are tough or show it with slapping, punching or taking out players. They just are

Nope he's a definite.
People forget the AA is picked over 22 rounds, and not just the last 7 or 8....
